Rare Rhino

                                       Rare Rhinos

This is what a rhino looks like and
where they live, assuming near a lake
and also near jungles.

     Introduction: 

    How rare are rhinos really? Actually, there's only a few thousand in Africa, and they're endangered. Rhino's name is after they're incredibly large horns, and the rhinoceros' name is also in Greek for "nose", and on their nose is a horn. People in asia kill rhinos for their horns, which are used for medicine  and to hand on their beloved walls. Rhino horns are continued to be sold, and could be sold for over three times the cost of gold on the black market! Illegal poaching is very illegal, although people still do it these days.

My Opinion:

     Rhinos are great creatures and shouldn't be hunted the way they are currently. People kill them just for the money, which is very unreliable as soon the price will decrease and the rhino population is going down to zero. Once they are extinct, we'd have one less species on the Earth, which may seem like nothing, but seeing how rhinos are so known it'd be dreadful. I also think they should be preserved and held somewhere special with acres of land where none can touch them, or even think of harming them.

They'd be peaceful and we'd not have to worry about them going extinct.

     We may hurt them on sight because they enormous and frightening, although they're scared of us. They may charge at us because of self-defense, but then we'd just kill them and move on with it. We should leave them alone so this shouldn't happen. They're even vegetarians usually, eating grass and leaves. If people think they can get away with killing these innocent creatures, they should think again. They wouldn't die without a fight!

Top Five List:

1. The White Rhino

This type of rhino has a large horn and weird shaped ears. They also have wide mouths which is able to eat a lot of grass and leaves at once.

2. The Black Rhino

The black rhino are very endangered and being carried around to safer places. They have narrow mouths that make it easier to pull leaves and grass.

3.Sumatran Rhino

The Sumatran Rhino was the smallest species in the rhino family. There are lower than 400  of Sumatran Rhinos.

4. Javan Rhino

 

The Javan Rhino also has 100 animals left only. They also have very poor eyesight.

5. Great One-Horned Rhino

These animals, obviously, only have one horn. Also, it has is the biggest species of rhinos.

Top Five Foods Rhino's Eat:

1.Grass

Grass is the main diet that rhinos eat. Most rhinos eat 40% of this for their diet.

2. Twigs

Rhinos eat twigs. MANY twigs. They also eat small branches and such for their diet.

3. Leaves

This is the other part of rhinos diet. They eat this as grass depletes, and is usually as a backup. 

4. Soy

Rhinos in captivity eat soy. Soy is usually beans and is also very nutritious

5. Alfalfa

This is the secondary food that rhinos eat. This is a type of flower.

Conclusion:

Rhinos should not be hunted any further. They should be preserved and live a completely happy life.
